Description
Crispy Chicken and Cabbage Stir-Fry is a delicious and healthy dish that combines tender chicken with fresh vegetables, all tossed in a savory sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the shredded cabbage, bell pepper, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños during the stir-frying process.
- You can also substitute the chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
